Look Straight Ahead

Today's Scripture

Today's Word

What are you looking at today? Not in the
natural, but with your spiritual eyes. In other words, what is in the forefront
of your mind and in your heart? Are you constantly dwelling on your problems or
things that have happened in your past? In the natural, you will move in the
direction that your eyes are looking. In the spiritual, it works the same way.
Whatever you focus your mind and heart on, you will move toward. That’s why
today’s verse tells us to look straight ahead. If you are constantly dwelling on
your problems or things in your past, wondering “what if,” then you will stay
right where you are. But if you choose to forgive and release the past, then you
can focus on what is ahead of you, and you’ll begin to move forward.

God doesn’t want you to live in the past. He
wants you to keep growing and moving forward. Make the decision to meditate on
His goodness and focus on His promises. Look straight ahead so you can see His
blessing and move forward into the life of victory He has promised you!

A Prayer for Today

Heavenly Father, today I set my focus on You. I
choose to forget the past by forgiving others so that I can look straight ahead
to Your promises. I ask that You direct my heart on the path of life that You
have for me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
